The construction industry in Mexico is estimated to have shrunk by 3.6% in real terms in 2025, defined by fractured US-Mexican relations unsettling investors, weaker remittances flows, and elevated building material costs. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the construction industry’s value-add declined by 4.7% year-on-year (YoY) in Q3 2025, preceded by YoY declines of 2.2% in Q2 2025 and 1.4% in Q1 2025. According to the INEGI, the gross fixed investment on buildings fell by 6.7% YoY in the first nine months of 2025, preceded by an annual growth of 3.2% in 2025. Despite economic uncertainty, Mexico’s construction industry is expected to recover at an annual average growth rate of 2.6% between 2026 and 2029, supported by investments in energy and transport infrastructure projects, in line with the government’s plan to invest MXN1.2 trillion ($60.1 billion) to develop 5,645km of railway line across 24 states by 2030. Rising foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country will also support the industry’s output over the coming quarters. According to the Minister of Economy, FDI grew 15% YoY in the first nine months of 2025. Additionally, in November 2025, the Government of the State of Mexico announced the development of six new industrial parks with a total investment of MXN3.5 billion ($175.3 million). Growth will also be supported by the National Electric System Strengthening and Expansion Plan 2025-30, announced in April 2025. The plan includes an investment of MXN624.6 billion ($31.3 billion) to add 29.1GW of new electricity generation capacity. It will fund 158 transmission projects and complete 42,221 electrification projects by 2030.
